Daylight Savings glitch?

Question

How do I set my computer settings for the early Spring Forward this Sunday?

Answer 1

If you have been getting the windows updates, you don't have anything to worry about. They sent a fix for it, so your computer should adjust it automatically. If you do not have it, simply double click on your clock, and then you can change it manually. Not very hard to do..Good Luck..Click this link, for directions>>

Answer 2

If you have Windows XP and you downloaded and installed the updates for the month of February, you're already covered. The computer will change itself.

If you have a Windows version other than XP, you need to download the tzedit (Time Zone Editing) utility from Microsoft. After you download the tool, run it, select your time zone from the drop-down list, and change the starting and ending days for Daylight Savings Time. It's really easy, and, amazingly for Microsoft, won't make you reboot the computer. Good luck!

Answer 3

As long as you have Windows XP running Service Pack 2, and you have Automatic Updates turned on, you won't need to do anything. If you don't fit this description, check out Microsoft's help site about the new Daylight Savings:

Answer 4

By hand, and even then, it's not guaranteed (according even to Microsoft..."don't trust appointments over the next month...") They were supposed to send updates - if you automatically update XP or you specifically and manually keep your XP/SP2 up-to-date. Vista of course is ready-to-handle it. But, then, if like me you have an iPaq that's got an old version of its own so-called Windows, then even if you set it, manually, it'll "do you the favor" of resetting itself when the time comes. Then there's your time-zone sensing phones. So here comes a month when everything may be somewhat amok...

Answer 5

It should just happen on it's own, if not then double click it and fix it.

Answer 6

in clock settings you can set it up to do it automatically
